I'd like to see this, or an iCal file import feature added into Sandy.

The hot project now is Mozilla Ubiquity. It's a command line that runs inside of FireFox and can be extensively customized. To do maps, emails, translations, inline editing of html documents, etc. Even the developer of Devo has abandoned that project in order to work on Ubiquity.

Check out "Devo". It's like Quicksilver for Firefox. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/fire... and http://abcdefu.wordpress.com/devo/

Devo is a command launcher that runs inside FireFox. It can be customized to do just about anything you want on the web. It runs Javascript internally so it's pretty easy to add things.

I added a new command that does the same thing as the "Sandy bookmark" described above. I can now hit "Shift-X" to get a pop up window, type "sandy" followed by whatever I want her to remember and hit enter. (I'm considering changing the key combination to be Ctr-;)

I named my new command "sandy" and gave it the following code:
var msg = devo_param; if(msg!=null){var win=window.open('http://iwantsandy.com/email/create?message[subject]=From Devo&message[body]=Remember '+msg, '_iwantsandy');}

Check this out. A bookmark that pops up a form. You type in what you want Sandy to remember and press enter. That's it, you're done.

A FireFox extension sounds like a great idea.

In the meantime, here's another fast way to enter stuff into Sandy. Create a bookmark that opens in the sidebar.

1) Create a bookmark.
The easiest way is to drag this link to the FireFox bookmarks toolbar. A new button will be created.
http://iwantsandy.com/email/new

2) Edit the properties of the bookmark.
Right click on the button and select "properties", then change the name of the link. I call mine "Email Sandy".

3) I suggest you set the "Load this bookmark in the sidebar" option. (So the link opens in the side bar rather than creating a new page.)

Hi,

Any news ? On your plan or not ?

A comment on the question "Texting, Not Emailing Sandy" in I want Sandy:

And thanks for that link Kevin, I didn't even know that was there www.iwantsandy.com/email . And no, Sandy isn't receiving the emails... I don't think its getting forwarded because this is definitely a Gmail issue but I have not gotten any help on it. – ThunderBoy, on July 18, 2008 20:57

Thanks both Kevin and Rael,
I definitely appreciate you following up (although it got me obsessed with trying to resolve the problem again and i wasted another 2 hours ;) -- Unfortunately or fortunately for RD this is definitely not a Sandy issue, it is a problem in Gmail. I only have one other forwarding filter from Jott to Stikkit. That one seems to be working... but I can't get to work ANY NEW forwarding filters. No idea what's the problem. They just aren't going anywhere – ThunderBoy, on July 18, 2008 20:18

"r" works across the board, no matter how Sandy gets your message. – Rael Dornfest, on July 18, 2008 07:54

A comment on the question "Texting, Not Emailing Sandy" in I want Sandy:

Have you solved this yet? Have you considered that your emails might be forwarding, but Sandy is just not understanding them? Check http://iwantsandy.com/email to see if Sandy's receiving your forwarded emails. Somebody said that using "r" doesn't work, but "remind me" does. http://getsatisfaction.com/iwantsandy... – kevin1, on July 18, 2008 05:12

it'd be awesome to be able to text sandy directly more easily, but the twitter method does work pretty well, so it might not be worth the trouble.

Thanks PrimalOne,
I was ecstatic at your suggestion in what should have been an obvious solution and set about trying this that I had not thought of before, and thanks for putting this plug in our heads; However, in practice, it didn't work for me... For some crazy reason, my Gmail is not forwarding to Sandy... I have tried everything but the filter mechanism won't forward to Sandy...its not making sense why...I know and yet....
But it just won't forward...period. I get the email to myself in my inbox, but it doesn't go any further than that. No word yet on whether it is only opposed to sandy or if I tried to forward to another email if the same would happen. Haven't tried the latter.

But to recap, the filter forwarding mechanism isn't working for me. Alas! Back to the drawing board. One thing I need this texting thing for is that I park on the street and often forget where I parked the day before...lol. It has at times taken me upto an hour to find my car the next day and you can imagine how bad that could get when running to work...lol

This would be great. If it happens, I'd love to beta test it.
